Mobile POS Systems market 2015 to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% by 2019

A mobile POS refers to an electronic payment system that transfers funds using credit and debit cards at POS terminals located at retail outlets. Mobile POS systems are equipped with features such as Wi-Fi, RFID, VoIP, and smart card capabilities. These systems are highly versatile and are used primarily as data devices. In addition, they are used for sending digitized notes, checking prices, writing reports, sending and receiving invoices, capturing signatures, and managing assets at retail stores. The abovementioned functions can be used to exchange data within a store or other out-of-store locations through wireless applications. Mobile POS systems are also being used to send and receive faxes through emails (known as internet fax service). Mobile POS systems can also be coupled with Bluetooth-enabled printers to enable line busting for faster checkout during heavy traffic at retail stores. Thus, mobile POS systems help retailers to provide value-added services, with the requirements of speed and accessibility being accomplished.

The predominant factor driving the market growth is the increased penetration of mobile POS systems in the retail and hospitality sectors.
